N-Hydroxyphthalimide → Hydroperoxide, phenylmethyl

참여 물질

반응 단계

0.3 mmol of N-hydroxyphthalimide and 0.6 mmol of cumene hydroperoxide are added at a temperature of 125° C. to 30 mmol of toluene in a round-bottomed flask having an attached reflux condenser. The reaction mixture is stirred for 8 hours at said temperature under an oxygen atmosphere of 1 bar. Benzyl hydroperoxide is obtained at a selectivity of 51.7% at a toluene conversion rate of 8%. Other products are benzaldehyde (24.6%) and benzoic acid (23.6%).
